I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2016. I had an mri of my lower back, which showed 2 disc bulges. Could this be the reason for my back pain? Does the back pain have anything to do with the gastric sleeve?

No it doesn't have anything to do with it. I have lumbar stenosis and bulging disks and it has nothing to do with my surgery.

Wow I have a bulging disc as well compressing on a nerve and I knee a total right knee replacement my team of doctors say I should get pain relief after I loose enough weight anyone else went through this.

I have had DB hip replacements as well as the back stuff and losing all this weight has NOT helped as far as my pain goes. Hope it will be different for you

Tracyringo sorry to here that I have chronic pain daily nothing helps I have real bad nerve damage as well and you telling this is like wow I had Hope's I could be pain free.

You may be pain free, I just am not. Good luck to you !

No, they're not related, just an unfortunate incidence
